I am constantly amazed to hear people say the same as you just mentioned, and have become quite sensitized to that predicament. While all that may be left them is to hope for someone to step up and take up the task when they are ready to pass it on, "hope" doesn't seem like a very solid guarantee. To hear about Lee's experience with Alice's years of research is certainly heartening. I know there are other stories like that out there, and I wish the same for you, as well.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11493751205869053242018-01-27T12:30:37.275-08:002018-01-27T12:30:37.275-08:00Lovely story - I too have no children and hope tha...Lovely story - I too have no children and hope that when the time comes, I'll have someone to leave my work to.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638901687647283925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-67933746759574662082018-01-18T23:49:43.771-08:002018-01-18T23:49:43.771-08:00Yes, it was great to learn Lee is a Find A Grave v...Yes, it was great to learn Lee is a Find A Grave volunteer!<br /><br />Far Side, I have heard enough stories of how someone--maybe a distant relative--turns up to take an interest in the family's history and eventually connects with the one who has been working on it for years. It has happened, and it still can happen in your family, too.<br /><br />However, there are also other options for preserving your work, as I'm sure you already know. I'll be discussing some of those options this weekend.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-38269615205418615712018-01-18T08:50:01.018-08:002018-01-18T08:50:01.018-08:00How wonderful that Lee took up the search!
